 ====== Lab2: Making a Scene ======
+Today we will go a little bit deeper into the Ogre framework, and create an interactive scene, where we can navigate around, add a ground and explore the use of keyboard and Mouse input.
-For this lab we will break down the application made in Lab1 into a class. We will look at the rendering loop and create a listener that will handle the per-frame updates, as well as listening for user input. This lab is based on chapter 9 "The Ogre 3D Startup Sequence" from the book "Ogre 3D 1.7 - Beginner's Guide" by Felix Kerger, which was given as a hand out in the first Lab class.
+For this lab we will break down the application made in Lab1 into a class definition.

This lab is based on chapter 9 "The Ogre 3D Startup Sequence" from the book "Ogre 3D 1.7 - Beginner's Guide" by Felix Kerger.
+At the end of this lab, we will have a similar scene as in Lab1 but we will be able to interact with the scene. This lab will include Some bonus points, and we encourage you to do them.
+While the Lab Assignment is a little hard boiled, feel free and I encourage you to experiment, change the code structure (its quite ugly in the guide :) and or add functionality. Just make sure your application qualifies to the standard requirements of the Lab :)
+This is somewhat our goal.

 ===== When You Are Finished =====
+You should be able to navigate the camera around Sinbad, and you should also see the plane under Sinbad receiving his shadow.

+If you were a good citizen and implemented the Bonus points in the guide, you should also be able to move Sinbad with very lame controls (**//We will address this in a later Lab :)//** ), and see him animated while walking.
 Upload your **commented source files** into Lab2 in MySchool (zip them up if more than one). The lab projects will not be graded, but their completion counts towards your participation grade.
